Mar 05, 2023     VS cap (done); Empennage fairing mold - (3.5 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
1. Sanded yesterday's micro/flox addition to the bottom of the VS cap plug. Primed it and filled pinholes, then primed it again.
2. Partially removed the VOR/ILS antenna so that I could file 1/8" off the aft part of the skin notch where the antenna puck pokes through. This got everything visually lined up better.
3. Installed the VS cap with six stainless #8 screws. I think it came out pretty well, considering my self-imposed requirement that it be removable in order to service or replace the tail antenna in the future. It was a lot of work--which I could have avoided entirely by putting the antenna somewhere else, back in 2007.)

4. Sawed off yesterday's filler on the foam mold for the empennage fairing.
5. Sanded and filed the mold into what I hope is pretty close to the final shape.
